Kahaani- Final Reflection

Overall, looking back at my Kahaani experience, I realised how much I enjoyed it. It was really nice getting to dance again after having quit ballet a few years ago, and I do definitely still have somewhat of a passion for it. It was a great experience, however, there were challenges that we had to face as a group due to lack of organisation. We fell behind for a bit as we were not able to practice over the December break, and due to the fact that Grade 10s had their mock exams just before. However, we managed to get a lot of practice done in the last week, which has definitely contributed to our improvement and successful performance. Finally being able to perform our dance on the stage felt amazing, as we had all worked so hard and put so much effort into it. Without a doubt, I will be signing up for Kahaani next year and I’m very much looking forward to it.

Pottery- December 2020

This second season I found myself making some more complex pieces and each piece that I made had a purpose. I started exploring the different techniques and added elements such as glaze to my artworks to make it more special. I made a Christmas tree that I decided to give to a friend and I also made this rose that I will be giving to my mom. I take a lot of time deciding what my next object would be, and I’ve so far been fairly satisfied with the outcome. None of my pieces have been perfect yet, but from each piece I do take away and note the different things that I should improve on in order to avoid making the same mistakes that I have previously made.

POTTERY- SEPTEMBER 2020

LO1. An experience that will develop strengths

LO2. An experience that will be a challenge to you and where you will learn a new skill…

Down below is a picture of what I made during my first week of pottery. I’ve never tried pottery before, therefore it was a bit of a challenge as I lacked the basic skills. It is also much harder than it seems to be. I didn’t know how to shape my object properly or how to create a strong base, therefore it collapsed by the end of the lesson as it was too thin. However, as we can tell, I had already learnt quite a bit from my first lesson (about what to do and what not to do), so hopefully my skills will only improve from here on.
